Ex-President Barack Obama suggested the Trump administration’s “extreme views” may have led to the murder of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Speaking at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pa., on Tuesday, Obama criticized the Trump administration for chastising the left following Kirk’s public execution last week, alleging his own administration never demonized political opponents.
“As president of the United States, my response was not: Who may have influenced this troubled young man to engage in that kind of violence? And now let me go after my political opponents and use that,” Obama said.
Continuing, Obama blamed the Trump administration for turning up the temperature with heated political rhetoric, claiming his own White House never espoused “extreme views.”
“When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents ‘vermin,’ enemies who need to be ‘targeted,’ that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now, and something that we’re going to have to grapple with — all of us,” Obama said.
“Whether we’re Democrats, Republicans, independents, we have to recognize that on both sides, undoubtedly, there are people who are extremists and who say things that are contrary to what I believe are America’s core values.”
“But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the United States government behind extremist views,” he said. “And that is…when we have the weight of the United States government behind extremist views, we’ve got a problem.“

Elsewhere during the event, Obama had to signal his audience to stop clapping after he claimed he believed Kirk’s ideas “were wrong.”
Obama’s deflection comes as many on the left have falsely attempted to claim Kirk murder suspect Tyler Robinson possessed right-wing political views, despite substantial amounts of evidence to the contrary.
